2 Chainz wrote an op-ed column for Rolling Stone about the election

[SHAQAVELLI]

Many counted us out this election. Many said that the high turnout of young voters and voters of color in 2008 was a one-time thing. We proved them wrong. The vote share of young voters increased in 2012 over 2008, and over 22 million 18-29 year olds voted. We have seen the results thousands of phone calls and doors knocked, rallies, parties and concerts, and online and social media campaigns. In every state that came down to a narrow margin, young people and people of color were the deciding factor.

Hip-hop, we should celebrate. Whether you voted for President Obama or Governor Romney, we demonstrated that we are a political force, and that we cannot be ignored.

I will continue to support the work of the Hip Hop Caucus. I encourage everyone to pay attention to the issues that matter to you, from jobs and the economy, to education and our schools, to criminal justice reform. Whatever it is that you care about, make sure you use your voice.

As I said, I spent most of my adult life thinking I didn't have a vote, and therefore that what I thought didn't matter. I can say sincerely, don't take your voice for granted. It is truly what makes us all equal.

It's interesting how this guy is clearly articulate and intelligent (you could tell that even before this piece here) but turned into a cartoon character because he saw the end of the tunnel and got desperate....one of those things you understand but don't understand

Tity Boi got a 4.0 in college. You really think this nikka acts just like he does in his raps?

I understand that he's a entertainer like Jim Carrey or any other entertainer. Some do it reality based, some play a character, some joke around with their work and on.
Look at someone like R. Kelly, dude was singing about love and all that, but running around fukking children, pissing on people, knocking out cats. He was like the inverse of someone like 2 chainz.
